The problem is, when I select the next list item, previously selected list item should come to the original color. Is there any way I can achieve this? Your guidence will be appreciated. Many thanks I have a list that I've created with the list-style-type being an image. For some reason, the space between the list-style-image and the list text differs in IE and Firefox. Has this happened to anyone else, or am I doing something incorrectly? Below is the code. The cell that these lists sit in has has an id of 'cellid'. Code:
#cellid {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid ul {
margin: 10px 0 0 20px;
padding: 0 0;
}
#cellid li {
margin: 0 0;
padding: 0 0;
list-style-image: url(images/idxyellowlist.gif);
}
The ul has a margin of 20px on the left to line up with an element above it. Does anyone have any ideas as to how to get around this space? Thanks, Brian Hi all I just want to change the colour of the dot on a ul/li list. Can anybody tell me how I can do that in CSS? Cheers. Hi all I just want to change the colour of the dot on a ul/li list. Can anybody tell me how I can do that in CSS? Cheers. Hello, I am creating a simple navigation bar using a list. My anchor tags inside each list item have a background and margin. The problem is they are overlapping. I then added to the li tag margin-top: 20px. The problem is that the bottom background of the last element disappears. I think I might doing something wrong on my styling because when I fix something, something else gets wrong. Could someone, please, help me out?

It's a bit complicated to explain, so I'll try and give as much detail as I can. I have a menu system set up on a site, and it's styled correctly for the way that one section works. It's a standard unordered list. FIRST MENU: Code: <ul>
<li>
<a href="page1.html">Link 1</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="page1.1.html">Link 1.1</a></li>
<li><a href="page1.2.html">Link 1.2</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>
<a href="page2.html">Link 2</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="page2.1.html">Link 2.1</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
SECOND MENU: Code: <ul>
<li>
<a href="page1.html">Link 1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="page2.html">Link 2</a>
</li>
</ul>
My problem is that I also need to style another menu match this - but the second menu has to have it's first-level links look like the second-level links in the first menu. This wouldn't be a problem normally as I'd be able to use different selectors, ID's or something else, but with this system, the menu is output from a closed function that I can't change. There's no ID's on the lists, and the classes are all the same. I can't change this, and I can't change the system to add anything else around each list to give it a better identifier. This means that both menus use the same CSS. The only way that I can see that I can do this is to set up a CSS rule that styles the list item either only of it contains another<ul> item, or if it doesn't contain another <ul> item. As far as I know that's not possible to do. Does anyone out there have an idea of where I can start with this? hi all, I want to show an ordered list in a particular way. I currently have an ordered on my site but instead of using <ol> and <li> tags, I am simply using text and <br>'s. So what I would like to do is use the <ol> and <li> tags to build the list, but have it appear in exactly the same way as my current setup. The list is only ever 5 items long, so all the extra spacing is not needed, it literally needs to look like this: 1. Item 1 2. Item 2 3. Item 3 and so on. So far, I have: Code:
.test ol {
margin:5px 0px 5px 40px;
padding:0 0 0 2px;
}
.test ol li {
color:#333333;
margin:2px -3px 2px -17px;
}
.test ol li a:link,
.test ol li a:active,
.test ol li a:visited,
.test ol li a:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
margin-left:-8px;
}
[code] <div class="test"> <ol> <li><a href="#">List item 1</a></li> <li><a href="#">List item 2</a></li> <li><a href="#">List item 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">List item 4</a></li> <li><a href="#">List item 5</a></li> </ol> </span> [/div] This looks perfect on IE, but there is still some left margin on the <li>s on FF and Opera and others. And I can't seem to get rid of it. Hoping you can help. Mark Hi all, and thanks for reading. The following code looks fine in Firefox, but has huge spaces between the images in IE 6. CSS: Code:
#menu {float:left; width:157px; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu IMG {display:block; margin:0; padding:0;}
#menu UL {list-style-type:none; margin:0; padding:0; background-color:#FFFFFF;}
#menu UL LI {margin:0; padding:0;}

Thanks in advance. -colin I've been struggling with this a bit. I would rather not use a container div for my lists, but it seems that it's not possible to assign the lists themselves a width. When I assign a width to the <ol> element, I lose the numbers under the margin on the left, which I can sort-of understand. If I assign a width to the <li> elements, it works fine in Firefox, but IE drops the number on the first <li> and changes the numbers on each following <li> to "1". Of course, IE is being a P.I.T.A. I can't figure out why this is happening... but it's probably something so simple I'm overlooking it. I have a set of images and/or links set up as a list and the last item on the first row shifts down. After that row, everything looks fine. No problems on FF, Chrome and Safari (Mac). See this page for example and view with Explorer: www[dot]cameronstevens[dot]ca/gallery[dot]html Thanks I am having trouble with my navigation. it works fine in safari and firefox, but when i try it in IE for the PC the main navigational elements don't move. does anyone know why? www.iconiqdesigner.com thanks! Is there any way to have horizontal list items automatically fill any given width? for example, If I have 5 list items, I can set each width to 20% and the list will fill the width of the container, but if I don't set a width, then they collapse to the left. the behavior I'm after is like a table. The 'old' way to create a horizontal list would be to create a table with one row and 5 cols. Setting the width of the table to 100% would make each cell 20% automatically. Any way to accomplish this in css without explicitly setting the width? Hey everyone, After doing some reprogramming of the site I was making I'm having troubles with lists. I can't set the width of the li or a so that the size takes shape. I can't figure out why, or how to do it. I know I've done it before but the code i used there just doesn't seem to want to work. The LI and A tags take the size of the text within. I've checked the resources I could find in the sticky and that kravitz gave me and they seem to be able to set width but it's just not working. here is my css Code:
#menu{
width:750px;
border:thin solid #000000;
}
#menu ul{
margin:0;
padding:0;
width:750px;
display:inline;
}
#menu li{
width:150px;
display:inline;
border:thin solid #000000;
list-style-type:none;
background-color:#550210;
}
#menu a{
width:150px;
}
If I take out the display:inline the width takes shape but when I put it back in it resizes to the size of the text within. First of all, I hope this makes sense - I just spent two hours nonstop tweaking the navigation on my first client's site, and my brain and eyes are a bit frazzled. I have the navigation in a list, displayed horizontally in a Suckerfish dropdown. The container is elastic but the navigation is not; I want it to stick to the right side but move to the left when the browser is made narrower. Floating it to the right works perfectly.. But it reverses the order of my list items so that "Home" is to the far right instead of the left. Is there any way to reverse the order of the list items without touching the HTML? Going for full accessibility here, so I obviously don't want to reverse the item order in the HTML. I could probably figure this out on my own but it would take time, and like I said.. My brain is a little wonky right now Thanks in advance! I am really stumped -- I need to stack images on top of one another using an unordered list but I get a few pixels of whitespace at the bottom no matter what I do. I know this could be acheived using divs instead but I would like to figure it out using lists. I broke the code into as simple a form as possible and put it below. Removing everything between the </li> tag and the next <li> tag does not work. I tried adding "height: 20px;" under "#nav ul li" to force the images to stack on top of each other -- this works in Safari and Firefox but not in IE Windows. If I remove the DocType tag or switch it to xhtml transitional the images do stack in Safari but not in Firefox or IE. Am I missing something here or is this just not possible? Appreciate any help.

I've been using CSS for a couple of days now, and am a bit stuck on how to change the main background image in the body when I hover over a menu item on the side bar. Changing the menu item background seemed easy enough. But, I suspect I am missing a key piece on how to get access to a body style from inside a list style. Here is the short section I am working on, with the full CSS file shown below that. This validates with a couple of warnings about my black on black color selection. I would certainly appreciate any help with this. Code: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"> <html> <head> <title>HOTWORKS</title> <link rel="stylesheet" href="stylz.css" type="text/css"> </head> <body class="top" id="bdy" > <!-- Site navigation menu --> <ul class="navbar" id="navlist"> <li><a href="tools.html"><br>Tools</a> <li><a href="glass.html"><br>Glass <br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="pottery.html"><br>Ceramic<br> Artwork</a> <li><a href="about.html"><br>About</a> </ul> <!-- Main content --> <h1> </h1> <p> <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br> TOOLS - ART - MISCELLANEA <br> <address> </address> </body> </html> Code: #navlist a:hover {

I would like the link colour to change and the background of the <li> to change as well. I can't figure out what CSS to use for it though. I have made bold and underlined the li I want to change on hover. Code: <li id="menuitem_2mainnav"> <a id="menulink_2mainnav" class="mainlevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=2">Meetings</a> <ul id="menulist_2mainnav"> <li id="menuitem_2_1mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_1mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14">TEST 1</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_2mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_2mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=15">TEST 2</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_3mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_3mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=16">TEST 3</a></li> <li id="menuitem_2_4mainnav"><a id="menulink_2_4mainnav" class="sublevelmainnav" href="/example/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=17">TEST 4</a></li> </ul> </li> I have tried: Code: #menulist_2mainnav li:hover{ color:#000000 !important; }
But it doesn't change the links text colour. On one of my pages I display an ordered list (see http://www.valleyspokesmen.org/cinderella_training2.php). I'd like to break up the twelve vertically displayed list items and display them six alongside six, with appropriate spacing between adjacent items, with item number 7 adjacent to item number 1, item 8 adjacent to item 2, etc. I searched this forum but found nothing addressing that sort of challenge. On my web page, my left column is floated left, the right column is floated right, and the center column is....well.....just trying to stay afloat :-) With that in mind, can you offer any advice on how to break up my ordered list so that it appears in two blocks of six items? thank you very much for your valuable time. |
